| Russia's second biggest oil company calls for an end to Putin's war Posted: 04 Mar 2022 06:52 AM PST https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/04/business/lukoil-end-war/index.html Russia's second largest oil company has broken ranks with President Vladimir Putin. Lukoil, which produces more than 2% of the world's crude oil and employs over 100,000 people, has called for an end to Russia's war in Ukraine. The company's board of directors said in a statement to shareholders, staff and customers that it was "calling for the soonest termination of the armed conflict." "We express our sincere empathy for all victims, who are affected by this tragedy. We strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy," the board added. It will be interesting to see if anything happens to management.

| What is $ERUS halted while $RSX not? Posted: 04 Mar 2022 11:27 AM PST Why is trading for $ERUS halted while the biggest ETF $RSX continues on? Does it have to do with the size of the underlying assets? How about holdings? RSX is by far the largest with ERUS as number two. Maybe the exchanges they are in? RSX is in CBO and the others are in NYSE? Others halted are FLRU and RUSL... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 01:45 PM PST Both ETFs are tracking the S&P500, they're almost identical. One just has a lower expense ratio. I already invested a significant amount into ETF 1 (the more expensive one). If I started investing into ETF 2 (cheaper one) going forward (without selling any of my ETF 1), would there be any downside in terms of returns? I suppose I'm just wondering if the capital I have in ETF 1 will have any benefits if I kept reinvesting in It vs just starting investing in the cheaper one instead and leaving the old one as is. Hope this makes sense. [link] [comments] |
| Where do you see the future heading? Investment ideas Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:30 AM PST Some of these will be obvious, these are just my thoughts of where the future is probably heading and as such will shape my investment strategy. So here's my thoughts, what are yours? Please feel free to pick apart my conclusions. Trains, specifically high speed rail is going to be bi go in the future. In an attempt to lower carbon emissions many countries are going to start banning short haul domestic flights when there is the option to use a train. France is already in this process. Trains are cheaper, better for the environment and far less hassle then planes. People eating healthy. Now I'm not expecting everyone to turn into a vegan but people will start focusing on healthy eating a lot more. It's hard to say what big companies will benefit from this, but a company like McDonalds I will be interested to see how they are doing in twenty years. Yes they will adapt and people like McDonald's but hey can't exactly reinvent themselves into a healthy option. Yes they will be around still but there will surely be a significant decline. New fuels, this is obvious I won't go into this. Electric planes, cars and trains. Once again obvious. Space, a long way out. War. There is always going to be war and given today's climate I see the d fence sector becoming the new tech sector. Cyber security, with war will come cyber attacks. Cyber security will be a massive player in the future. Crypto, personally I don't particularly like crypto so much. But I can't see how it doesn't become massively adopted. If you look at Visa for example, retailers have to pay charges to do Visa transactions. Why would they keep paying those fees when they could just switch to crypto. PayPal will die imo. Sustainable practices is once again obvious. Semi conductors, the demand is just so high. And my last point I have not spent much time on but that is free games and free software. If you look around these days there is so much great software or games that are free. Look at blender for example, costs nothing and it's a brilliant tool. At some point people will surely move away from the likes of Adobe etc and just use these free alternatives. Same goes for games, people are fed up paying $60 for a broken unfinished game when you can play a better game for free and decide if you want to put money into it as you enjoy it. Not pay up front and then be disappointed. Based on this last point, if I'm right, this will have a massive negative effect on many behemoth companies like Microsoft, like Adobe, the list goes on.

| What is the best commodity investment of all time? Posted: 04 Mar 2022 05:10 AM PST Up to now what have been the best commodity investments of all time? I'm just trying to understand commodities more and the different sectors. Is it something like gold, oil, etc? Or is it something like babe ruth baseball cards kept deadstock... or like packs from the year or something. Or is it something rooted in american history like war artifacts? Or is it art? Or is it something that is kind of like art? Like vintage louis vuitton luggage from the 1800's kept deadstock? [link] [comments] |
| Quick question about CFD (Contract for differece trading) Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:44 AM PST Hi, new investor here. I'm interested in long-term investing, basically DCAing a 80/20 VTI/VXUS ETF account, pretty simple. I trade using eToro (not many options in my country). I had bought VTI in eToro a while back, now I was interested in buying more and complement with VXUS. When I logged in eToro, it told me I couldn't buy VXUS because it's a CFD trade. I managed to bypass these by updating my profile, but doing some research it seems like CFD trading is an advanced investment strategy that comes with more risk. I'm wondering what's the difference between a normal VXUS ETF trade in eToro and this VXUS (CFD) that is the only one I can see in the broker? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Investing on a foreign stock exchange (things to consider) Posted: 04 Mar 2022 03:12 AM PST I want to buy some individual stocks listed on the Polish stock exchange (Warsaw). As I understand it, Fidelity allows you to do so (you have to call them) However, other than currency fluctuations, are there any other risks or considerations to owning stocks on a foreign exchange? I'm particularly thinking about dealing with taxes (foreign) and any special sort of reporting back home (foreign assets?). This is just speculation on my part, I don't know if such rules exist. Also is the International trading commission per transaction or per share? (90PLN for Fidelity + Warsaw Stock Exchange) I'm based in US. Help appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Is delisting an entire country the right thing to do? Posted: 05 Mar 2022 12:16 AM PST It appears all Russian stocks will be removed from the S&P Dow Jones by Wednesday. I have no idea how this will play out but it's very interesting Chinese stocks weren't delisted after the takeover of Hong Kong but could be removed if China invaded Taiwan: [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:19 AM PST Hey everyone, I was part of Robinhood's IPO at $40, sold out at $79, bought back in when I thought the stock price was low ($40.00), and been Avg. Down now for months, is there any hope this stock will bounce? It seems like it gains a penny and loses a dollar. Is it possible this stock will be delisted? Are the fundamentals still there? Why does the market hate this stock so much? It's like Go-pro all over again. Toy of the year and everything but the stock just kept falling. I got out early on that one. [link] [comments] |

| Growth stocks, good or bad time? Posted: 04 Mar 2022 11:04 AM PST I made some money with puts on the way down for a lot of these growth stocks. But they seem so low now. How much lower can they possibly go? Stocks like SPCE FUBO SOFI as an example. All just beat down so hard. Once I think it feels like a good time to get in they drop another 10% in a day. Haven't pulled the trigger to jump in yet but it has to be close? Haha. What are your thoughts about stocks like these and the current prices. Avoid or start investing at these levels. Thinking about long term holds on these. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 02:52 AM PST In the background of the events in Ukraine the importance of the ESG agenda is growing rapidly. Some investors are concerned with ethical component of the issue: no one really wants to be involved in financing of shelling and bombing of civil districts. Other investors are concerned with the financial part of the problem, because sanctions are really depreciating the asset base. The discussion on ESG investment efficiency in comparison with the broad market is still non-finalized (example Aswath Damodoran). But investment inefficiency in regiemes with low democracy now becomes more transparent. After the military invasion in Ukraine of the Russian Federation, the Russian market lost 75% of its market value. The Chinese economy depreciated about 35% from the beginning of 2021. This statement is also confirmed by dozens of research articles (first of all by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson), who affirm the statement that high-quality social institutes are the cause of economic prosperity. On the other hand, the lack of these institutes causes a lot of economic problems. So, ESG standards should be upgraded. ESG standards should include indications that could evaluate risks, which are tied to lack of democracy and high-quality social institutes. This problem shines with ESG ranking systems. According to Morningstar, Russian IT company Yandex (NASDAQ: YNDX) has lower ESG risks than most US companies. This issue became possible because of lack of political risk analysis. How can we upgrade ESG Standards? For example, Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF (Ticker: FRDM) includes only assets from countries, that meet following criteria: - civil freedom, such as absence of terrorism, human trafficking, torture, disappearances and detainments; - political freedom, such as rule of law, due process, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly; - economic freedom, such as marginal tax rates, access to international trade, business regulations, sound money, and size of government. This would help you avoid such crises in the future from ethical and investment standpoints. Unfortunately, today not all countries are united and confronting Russian aggression against Ukraine. A Vivid Example is China with lack of democracy. Excluding companies of regimes with lack of democracy from investment portfolios and upgrading ESG policies would allow investors to avoid financing such unethical actions and financial sanctions that would inevitably follow these actions.

| A Roth outside of work in addition to the one with employer? Posted: 04 Mar 2022 07:54 AM PST I'm not sure why I never thought of this concept, but I came across it recently and now I'm curious. Does it make sense to have a second Roth? If so, can someone explain simply why and what's the best route to take? I'm not sure if it makes sense for me as the primary reason for investing outside of my employer provided Roth is to build up funds for a down payment on a house eventually. [link] [comments] |
